#21 RuR: How can waste be reduced in Mumbai, one of the biggest cities in the world?

Mumbai is with around 20 billion inhabitants one of the biggest cities in the world and yet without a functioning waste disposal system. This was exactly the problem the environmental engineer Monisha Narke saw and developed a social and environmental enterprise “rur” to solve this problem and find a solution. As they have found out that more than 70% of the waste in Mumbai is organic compost waste they have developed a micro composting machine which can be used by housing communities. In this episode Monisha is talking about her work with her company rur, which stands for “are you reducing, reusing, recycling”. http://rur.co.in
